Remarks.
Dahlbom (1854)
described
Chrysis dichroa
based on a syntypic series of specimens collected in Austria, Hungary (Buda, not Italy) and Turkey (Ephesus) lent by Klug,
Kollar
, Parreys, Spinola, Zeller, and Loew. The female syntype housed in the Spinola collection matches the current interpretation of the species and we designate it as a lectotype. The designation is necessary because during the last five decades,
Linsenmaier (1959
,
1968
) and
Arens (2001)
described numerous species of the
Chrysis dichroa
group collected in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Therefore, there is the possibility that syntypes of
Chrysis dichroa
from Turkey could now belong to a different species. It belongs to the
Chrysis dichroa
group.
Current status.
